It's a wonderful life

Monologue: I know I have a lot of other stories going right now, but this was an idea I've had and I figured I should do a story for the Holidays
Chapter 1: I won't be home for Christmas
"Yes! It's finally done!" Hinata said observing the Christmas tree she had just decorated.
"And dinners abut ready, those 3 will be home any minute now." Hinata had spent the last five hours slaving over a hot stove, to make a meal perfect for her family. After she had checked on the oven, and laid the feast out on the table she took some hot chocolate and, sat in a chair by the door way, waiting for her family.
Christmas was always so poor at the clan, they never got along….. and most of it was just bickering. I always felt bad because while the elders were eating and getting drunk the branch members got scraps and had to spend all days serving the elders, but now I have a family, no one gets miss treated and everyone's happy this time of year (Which is how it should be), and every year holds a place in my heart. Hinata thought with a smile, as she reminisced of old memories.
1st hour…..
Boruto is at an academy Christmas party….. as is Himawari and Naruto is hosting the hidden leaf Christmas pageant (as all Hokage's do) I'm sure things just ran over… For all of theirs….. Hinata thought with some doubt.
2nd hour….
It's 8 P.M now, the food is cold…. I'm used to being left in the dust and having to heat up food, but it's Christmas! Hinata thought uneasy, pacing the floor.
3rd hour
Now this is getting ridiculous, it's Christmas I'm not asking for gifts…. I'm not asking for anything I'm just asking my family to be with me on Christmas! Was that so much to ask?... or…. Maybe it was, mayb-maybe I'm the issue…. How many times did I punish Boruto…. Or tell Himawari she wasn't ready, I guess I better go out and find them…. Hinata then got her coat and boots and walked through the snowy streets thinking about her past mistakes, and then became depressed.
I'm probably just something Naruto dreads coming home to, I've never satisfied his sexual urges, nor have I been the best cook, I've tried. My Father said I was a disappointment, it makes sense now. Kiba and Shino were brung down as a group because of me, Neji died….. because of me and I always let Naruto got bullied as a kid I should've-should've stood up for him. Where do I stand, if I wasn't alive? Naruto could've married a better more beautiful wife, Neji would be alive, my Father would have a worthy successor, and….. and Boruto and Himawari wouldn't have to deal with a witch of a mother. Hinata broke down on her knees in the cold snow and wept at the end of that thought, as she cried into her hands she yelled out.
"Why was I born just to be a burden on everyone!? I should've never been born!" As she said that, a flash of light appeared, and Hinata saw darkness.
Meanwhile….
Oh man, I'm going to be so late! I gotta get home stupid christmas party, I bet I'm keeping everyone waiting for Christmas eve dinner. As Boruto stepped out the door Sumire Kakei stopped him.
"Oh Boruto!" Boruto stopped and froze. Oh man it's the class rep, I bet she's going to write me up for the punch bowl incident.
"Look class rep, I know I shouldn't have spilled that punch bowl, and-"
"Oh no! That's not what this is about….." Sumire said with her arms behind her back.
"Oh well….. what is it? I can't talk long my mom made Christmas dinner and she and everyone will be upset if I'm late."
"Oh, I'm sorry I just wanted to give you a Christmas gift…" Boruto lit up at that.
"Oh, thanks what is it." Sumari then blushed, and said quietly
"On second thought, never mind….. you probably wouldn't like it. " Sumire said looking down.
"Ah c'mon you already bought it! Might as well." Sumire mumbled something incoherent and gave Boruto the present slowly, to reveal, it was a Kagamasa toy mask. Boruto just stared at it.
"Well, I wasn't really sure if you liked that still, but I thought…." Boruto then smiled at her.
"No don't be ridiculous, I love this, I've looked all over for it, how did you get it?" She just smiled
"Just got lucky I guess, glad you like it and merry Christmas Boruto." Sumire said with a bow, and then began walking away.
"Wait Sumari what are you doing for Christmas?" She looked back at him.
"Oh… Nothing much, since my Father died…" Boruto nodded
"Well why don't you come to my house." Sumire smiled with a blush.
"You mean it!?"
"Yeah c'mon let's go!" Boruto said grabbing Sumire's hand and running to his house.
Meanwhile, Naruto and Himawari wanted to surprise Hinata, so they were busy buying "the world's largest cinnamon bun." That they had in a wagon.
"Dad are you sure being late is good? Won't mom be upset?" Himawari said tugging on Naruto's shirt.
"Nah, I always do this, she always has this adorable surprised look." Naruto said with a grin.
"But that's you, I won't be there either won't mommy be sad?" Himawari said concerned.
"Nah, don't worry Boruto will be there." Naruto said patting Himawari on the head.
Meanwhile….
Hinata looked up, and saw dark, she then panicked and thought she had been kidnapped and used her byakugan, Hinata still saw nothing but black.
It must be some sort of protective room, oh well I guess now it will be a merry Christmas now that I'm gone…..
That self-doubt again…. An amorous voice said.
"Who-who are you." Hinata said shaking
How rude of me, allow me to introduce myself, I am Lord Jashine
Hinata immediately panicked.
"Was-was I sacrificed by a jashinest?"
No, you were not murdered, by anyone…. Except yourself.
"Wa-what do you mean?"
You said you wish you were never born, you feel your life has no use…
"Well it doesn't I don't regret that, I've only caused my family friends and loved one's pain they would be happier if I was never born!" And what do you want with me anyways, if you want me to kill in your name, I would sooner die than be like Hidan! Hinata yelled with tears in her eyes.
People don't understand what I'm the god of, I'm not the god of murder, I'm the god of hope, give peoples life meaning, Hidan like you thought himself worthless, so I granted him his ability because only that could help him, and today I will grant your wish.
"What do you mean?" Hinata said confused.
You will soon see
Then a bright light appeared, and Hinata woke up in face down in snow.
It must've been a dream, that was so weird….. oh well, time to go back home to continue to be burden on everyone's life I guess. Hinata thought as she got up and began walking home, only to be stopped by two men.
"Wo, someone's looking fine, hey little lady what do you say you get into apartment and have some fun." The man (who was obviously a shinobi) said blocking the side walk with another man smiling.
"Please leave-leave me alone." Hinata had been hit on in her life, but most people knew what the Hokage's wife looked like.
"It wasn't a question." The man said grabbing Hinata's breast.
"Leave me alone!" Hinata said trying to run, a she did a hand pulled her back and punched her right in the face causing her to fall into the snow.
"Well, well you can either come willingly or I'll rape you, your choice." Hinata began crying, and the men surrounded her laughing, making sexual remarks until a voice spoke up.
"Leave her alone!" The voice sounded angry, and Hinata looked up. And the men just froze
"Oh… Lord Uzumaki, we were just kidding and uh… we will be on our way." Hinata saw Naruto and immediately embraced him.
"Thank you, Naruto, I'm so glad you came." Hinata said crying into his shirt.
"You're welcome, but have I met you before?" Naruto said confused.
"Naruto that's not funny."
"I didn't mean it to be." Hinata hen went wide eyed. So, it wasn't a dream… I-I was never born…
